Teaser: Samsung Galaxy Tab

| August 24, 2010 21:25 UTC | 6 comments | source

Here’s a teaser for you of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab will compete with the Apple iPad, and will come some pretty neat features not seen on the iPad.

The Galaxy Tab will have a 7″ screen and a set of capacitive buttons. It will run on Android 2.2, and that will ensure you the “full web experience” seen in the video. And by the full experience, they mean Adobe’s Flash. HD video playback, e-reader functionality, Swype keyboard and a rear camera with LED flash should also be features of the Galaxy Tab.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be announced on September 2nd, at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany.

Sounds pretty neat, doesn’t it?

1GHz Hummingbird vs. 1GHz Snapdragon – Quake 2 test

| July 7, 2010 09:18 UTC | 0 comments | source

Both the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S runs at a clock speed of 1GHz. It doesn’t mean that they are equal tho, the chips are made by different manufacturers. The Hummingbird chip inside the Galaxy S is developed by Samsung, while the Snapdragon processor inside the HTC Desire is made by Qualcomm.

As you can see from the video above, the Humminbird dominates the Snapdragon in 3D game performance, even though they both run at 1GHz. The game seen on the video is Quake 2.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Rumor – 2GHz and Android 3.0

| July 5, 2010 21:05 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung Galaxy S2 - i9200

An interesting Samsung device leaked today, or at least a render of what is told to be the Galaxy S2. If you believe the rumor, this phone will be a little powerhouse.

Samsung Galaxy S2 rumored specs:

  • 4.3” 1280x720px Super AMOLED 2 display
  • 2GHz CPU, 1GB RAM/4GB ROM
  • 32GB of built-in flash memory, +32GB microSD card slot
  • 8 mpx camera with FullHD video recording
  • A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n
  • 3.5mm audiojack
  • accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and ambient light sensors

Take this information with a huge grain of salt. There are many things that sound off: Super AMOLED 2 with a resolution of 1280×720, 2GHz CPU (maybe dual-core 1GHz?) and FullHD video recording. I’m especially skeptic about the resolution of the screen, and the supposed FullHD video recording.
